FUNERAL BLUES by W. H. Auden Stop all the clocks‚ cut off the telephone‚ Prevent the dogs from barking with a juicy bone‚ Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin‚ let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead‚ Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves‚ Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North‚ My South‚ my East and West‚ My working week and my Sunday rest

“Funeral Blues” by W. H. Auden has a very dark feel as opposed to “She is gone”. The writer tells a story of his grief‚ and how he disconnects with his life after loosing someone he loved. There are no uplifting metaphors or promise that it gets better‚ just his deep grief and darkness. He uses the metaphors to a funeral “Stop all the clocks‚ cut off the telephone. …” in the first part of the poem to set the mood‚ and tell us what his theme is. And then goes on to describe how much the person gone

Mr. Jackson’s started his talk answering the first question that came to mind. He explained that we all are caregivers in a different way and not everyone could do his job. In addition the realization is everyone have a special gift and blessing. My main impressions of Mr. Johnson’s talk were every question he asked throughout his speech‚ it made me think on the spot.

After reading Quindlen’s argumentative persuasive essay called “Driving To The Funeral”‚ it was clear that she was against the driving age being 17. On the other hand‚ I believe the driving age should stay at 17. While I do drive and consider myself to be a very safe driver‚ not every teenager is.

The songs I would like to be played would have to be “I’m going off to yonder”‚ “crossroads”‚ “it’s all God”‚ and any other song that people know I love. And I would want the songs sung by the people they were wrote by and if those people are not alive then someone from my family could do it. I would want Pastor Marvin Sapp or Pastor Marvin
